Wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!

But now the sun has been shining and I’m looking forward to Spring and Summer, and am finally in the mood to paint. Here’s the most recent “wishful thinking” painting that I’ve been working on … sunshine, blue sky, puffy clouds and a warm breeze … aaaaahhh!

When the weather warms up, it’s time to get out of the garden and into the studio! I’ve
been having some fun creating new work for possible t-shirt designs…enjoy

I spend more time in my studio during these cold and dreary days, and this painting I had completed some time ago….but I was never really happy with the finished piece. I don’t remember repainting or correcting a painting once I think I’m finished…but, in this case….I’m happy with the outcome. The only risk would be that I could have made the painting worse…but not this time! Enjoy Feb 7, 2015

Now that the work is done, we are busy finding a new publisher in the Kansas City area that will do small book runs for us. I don’t really think of myself as an illustrator, so sometimes it has been a challenge to paint the story. Some stories and photos look really very easy to translate…but then aren’t! What’s best about the whole project is reading and re-reading the submitted stories and gazing at the photos of the many lucky dogs and cats that have found a great (and sometimes very patient) home.

I started working on another garden painting from my summer sketches, but adding cats really brought the work to life! enjoy! This painting was sold in our store in Weston!

I am ready to begin working on a new collection of stories about dog rescue. If you have a great story, please send it to us (250 words is good) along with a couple of photos of your lucky dog! We look forward to hearing from you
